Herbie Hancock: Sextant auf CD

*** digitally remastered

Rezensionen

"Before diving into the commercial waters that would become Headhunters in 1973, Hancock and his tough group (including Billy Hart, Julian Priester, Dr. Eddie Henderson, Bennie Maupin, and Buster Williams) cut this gem for their new label, Columbia. Like its Warner predecessors, the album features a kind of post-modal, free impressionism while gracing the edges of funk." (allmusic. com)

"Herbie Hancocks Sextant ist ein Juwel des Fusion-Jazz, eine einzigartig konsequente Verschmelzung von Jazz und frühelektronischen Klangexperimenten. Heute ist das Genre zum Synonym für selbstverliebtes Gegniedel und Gedaddel geworden. Bei Hancock ging es um Sinnlichkeit." (blog. zeit. de)

"As it stands, though, I dare say that this one is even more the jewel of the crown for progressive fans." (progreviews. com)

"So five stars it is. If you want to hear some amazing and truly original "jazz" music, look no further. If you're obsessed with melody and suite-like structures, look elsewhere." (progarchives. com)
